Weltwärts is a development volunteer service, which was founded in 2008 by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Since then, more than 34,000 volunteers have been sent from Germany and dedicated themselves to development projects.
Weltwärts focuses on joint intercultural learning. The funding has given all interested young people between the ages of 18 and 28 the opportunity to participate in the learning service.
They volunteer for six to 24 months at a local partner organisation in education, health, environment, agriculture, culture or human rights.
